I mean, Daisy and Christian were still extremely disfunctional, don't get me wrong. They still aren't a relationship I would ever root for in real life. However, why I liked their relationship more than Magnolia and BJ's is because it felt like they actually like each other. With Magnolia and BJ, yeah it was obvious they love each other, but the way they hurt each other constantly felt like they didn't even like each other. Christian and Daisy just had other issues going on, and difficult lives and situations that lead to them being as disfunctional as they are, but it is so clear they love and like each other the entire way through. It made everything about this so much more of an enjoyable read.
On top of that the plot in this one was rooted in like the crime/gangs/maffia scene, which made the over the topness and high dramaness of everything just feel less out of place in a way. I don't know how to explain it. It just caused for some high stakes moments, and overall it was just an extremely engaging read. I absolutely flew through it, and just didn't want to put this down at all.
On top of all of that I do just also like these characters more. I think Christian and Daisy were just really complex characters, and I quite liked seeing their developement throughout the novel. I also loved getting Julian's POV in this book. He is also an incredibly interesting character, and his POV did add quite a bit throughout this book. I hope this means he'll play a bigger part in the series because I'm quite curious to see where his character is going to go next. So yeah, I really liked this book a lot, and I'm even excited to read more about Magnolia and BJ right now.

The main character suffers from PTSD, and that’s shown quite a bit through the novel.raegandrust's review against another edition

With that portion out of the way - this book took me a little longer to read because 1. it's a big boi and 2. I just started a new job and I'm tired all the time. However, I loved my time with Daisy. I thought the three unique perspectives (Daisy, Christian & Julian) were intriguing and often heartbreaking as well as soooo funny. I loved getting to know the characters in Daisy's world better, as well as getting to know Daisy herself. There is so much about her to love, and like the other characters - a lot about her to hate, but that's what I love even more about her. She's just a person living in extraordinary circumstances, and really, that's what all of these characters are. They are so messy and half the time they're doing things you can't stand, but you still want them to win.
I am both excited and afraid to read MP: The Long Way Home. 😂
